Watercolor

Just started taking a color class at KCAI. I haven't truly worked in real watercolor since high school. (I just water down my gouache & call it watercolor) I'm pretty heavy handed & someone once told me watercolor is just as much about what you don't paint as what you do. (um, yikes!)
I decided to take the class to carve out time in my schedule to experiment with this medium & see if it's something I can add to my skill set... or not! You never know until you try.

Todays exercise was painting swatches to see how the paint moves & then cut it up or collage on to it.
